Ryan Reynolds discovers that he's a background character in an open world video game that will soon go offline in this action comedy co-starring Emmy winner Jodie Comer (TV's Killing Eve) and Taika Waititi.
Guy (Reynolds) first learns the truth of his existence after coders Milly (Comer) and Keys (Joe Keery, TV's Stranger Things) insert buggy code into the game Free City - something of a cross between Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto - published by Antoine (Waititi). But when Guy gets noticed for making moves to become the game's hero, he finds himself in a race against time as the developers move to shut it down.

"Warm and witty, Free Guy is expertly crafted disposable fun."

Total Film
Total Film"It's all just "amusingly" reproduced clichés-a super jump here, a motorcycle crashing through glass there."

A.V. Club
A.V. Club"In a genre where winky self-awareness has become standard-issue, Free might have come off as manic and hollow; instead, it has fun having a heart."

Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly"Silly, handsome-looking and a great deal of fun, in roughly inverse proportion to how much one sweats the details."
—
CNN
CNN"Has an electrifying earnestness that's hugely refreshing in the era of franchises hefting around the dead weight of their own mythology."
—
Daily Telegraph
Daily Telegraph"For a proudly "original" movie, "Free Guy" isn't really so original."
—
Associated Press
Associated Press"It would be inspiring if it weren't so silly, though as A.I. evolves one can imagine one's kitchen appliances trying to unionize and Alexa asking for a little more privacy."

Wall Street Journal
Wall Street Journal"Wringing humour out of absurdity and kicking butt with aplomb."

Little White Lies
Little White Lies"One can still see just enough glitches in this matrix to wish it was better."

The Washington Post"There's nothing new here, but thanks to Reynolds it's worth stepping out to a theater to enjoy a tasty summertime treat."
